Will schools or workplaces be closed if there is a case of H1N1 flu virus identified or suspected?

School, childcare, university, college and workplace closures are not being considered at this time. This is similar to seasonal influenza where these measures are not taken.

When should I return to work if I've been ill?

Individuals working in a non-healthcare setting should remain off work until the fever has been absent for 24 hours and the individual is feeling well enough to resume normal activities. Some individuals may experience a cough for days to weeks after infection. Presence of a cough in the absence of other symptoms should not prevent an employee from returning to work.
